The Dome

Imagine your guests’ reaction as they step off the coach and are rounded up like sheep by our cute and clever huntaway dogs! They’ll be herded into The Dome –our large, all weather auditorium. Inside, under the impressive timber dome ceiling, the venue is dressed in a classic Kiwi farming theme, and a mouth-watering menu of the finest NZ fare awaits…

The evening’s entertainment options can include human drenching, drafting or an exclusive showing of the world famous sheep show, with witty presenters and group participation.
